bronze medal at SPSQC (national string quartet competition) this weekend. learned a lot-- that i'm ridiculously behind in h. chem, that it's not always fully possible to move on, that some people are unalterably cruel, that it still hurts.
but i also learned that all of those things are so, so fucking worth it when you're standing on stage with a medal around your neck, heart throbbing, flash bulbs popping, the sound of applause bright in your ears.
i did it.
no. we did it.
